[Docket No. FAA–2007–28559; Airspace 

Docket No. 07–AEA–03] 

Removal of Class D and E Airspace; 

Utica, NY; Amendment of Class D and 

E Airspace; Rome, NY; Establishment 

of Class E Airspace; Rome, NY 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action will remove the 

Class D, E2, E4, and E5 airspace at 

Utica, NY, and amend the Class D and 

E2 airspace at Rome, NY. This action 

will also establish Class E5 airspace at 

Rome, NY. The Oneida County Airport, 

Utica, NY, is permanently closed and no 

longer operational, moving aircraft 

operations to Griffiss Airfield, Rome, 

NY. The closure necessitates the 

removal of all Class D and E airspace at 

Utica, NY. Subsequently, this action 

amends the Class D and E2 airspace at 

Rome, NY, published in the Federal 

Register on January 25, 2007, (72 FR 

3365) but not charted due to 

inaccuracies in the legal descriptions. 

This action will also establish Class E5 

airspace at Rome, NY, to replace the 

Class E5 airspace being removed at 

Utica, NY. Class D surface area airspace 

is required when the control tower is 

open to contain Standard Instrument 

Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and other 

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations 

at the airport. Class E2 surface area 

airspace is required when the control 

tower is closed to contain SIAPs and 

other IFR operations at the airport. Class 

E5 airspace extends upward from 700 

feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and is 

required to contain SIAPs and other IFR 

operations at the airport. This action 

will amend Class D airspace extending 

upward from the surface to and 

including 3,000 feet MSL within an 8.4- 

mile radius and Class E2 airspace 

within an 8.4-mile radius of the Griffiss 

Airfield. This action will also establish 

Class E5 airspace extending upward 

from 700 feet above the surface within 

a 10.9 mile radius of Griffiss Airfield 

and within 5 miles each side of the 

Griffiss Airfield ILS localizer northwest 

course from the 10.9-mile radius to 15 

miles northwest of Griffiss Airfield and 

within a 26-mile radius of the airport 

extending clockwise from a 125° bearing 

to 200° bearing from the airport. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, 

October 25, 2007. The Director of the 

Federal Register approves this 

incorporation by reference action under 

1 CFR, part 51, subject to the annual 

revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and 

publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On January 1, 2007, the Oneida 

County Airport, Utica, NY, was 

permanently closed and airport 

operations terminated. The closure, 

therefore, requires the removal of all 

Class D and E airspace at Utica, NY. 

Subsequently, operations were moved to 

Griffiss Airfield, Rome, NY, and Class D 

and E2 airspace areas were established. 

An amendment is required to correct 

errors in the legal description of the 

Class D and E airspace which has 

prevented the airspace from being 

charted. Establishment of Class E5 

airspace at Rome, NY, is required to 

replace the Class E5 airspace being 

removed at Utica, NY. This rule 

becomes effective on the date specified 

in the ‘‘Effective Date’’ section. Since 

this action eliminates the impact of 

controlled airspace on users of airspace 

in the vicinity of Utica, NY, and has no 

significant impact on the users of the 

airspace in the vicinity of the Griffiss 

Airfield, Rome, NY, notice and public 

procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are not 

necessary. Designations for Class D and 

E Surface Area Airspace, Class E 

Airspace Areas D Surface Area, and 

Class E Airspace Areas Extending 

Upward from 700 feet or More Above 

the Surface of the Earth are published in 

paragraphs 5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005 

respectively of FAA Order 7400.9P, 

dated September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) removes Class D, E2, E4, and E5 

airspace at Utica, NY, amends Class D, 

and E2 airspace at Rome, NY, and 

establishes Class E5 airspace at Rome, 

NY. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore, (1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comment and, therefore, is 

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous 

actions of this nature have not been 

controversial and have not resulted in 

adverse comments or objections. Unless 

a written adverse or negative comment 

or a written notice of intent to submit 

an adverse or negative comment is 

received within the comment period, 

the regulation will become effective on 

the date specified above. After the close 

of the comment period, the FAA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register indicating that no adverse or 

negative comments were received and 

confirming the date on which the final 

rule will become effective. If the FAA 

does receive, within the comment 

period, and adverse or negative 

comment, or written notice of intent to 

submit such a comment, a document 

withdrawing the direct final rule will be 

published in the Federal Register, and 

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be 

published with a new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting such written data, views, or 

arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the direct final rule. 

Comments are specifically invited on 

the overall regulatory, aeronautical, 

economic, environmental, and energyrelated aspects of the direct final rule. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Commenters wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2007–28776/Airspace 

Docket No. 07–ACE–10.’’ The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter.
